Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A352797
Let S(k) be the subsequence of multiples of k from k*positive integers where each element of S(k) sets a new record of divisors in that sequence. Then f(k) is the first element from S(k)/k that is not a power of 2. Sequence lists records for f(k).

Conjecture: Subsequence of A147516.
EXAMPLE
For k=1, the sequence of multiples of 1 that set records for numbers of divisors (divided by 1) starts 1,2,4,6. (A002182)
For k=3, the sequence starts 1,2,4,8,12. (A351623)
For k=9, the sequence starts 1,2,4,8,16,20.
For k=45, the sequence starts 1,2,4,8,16,24.
